Volume 11 - 1st printing. "Sweetness and Light!" By Anders Nilsen. Acclaimed cartoonist Anders Nilsen continues his surrealist trek through the queries and conundrums of life that plague the minds of reptile, fowl, and mammal alike. In the eleventh issue of Big Questions, Nilsen's detailed yet minimalist visual style continues to grow in answer to the complexity of the concepts he addresses in his writing. It begins at the dead of night. The Idiot sleeps, the Pilot dreams. He seems to wake momentarily, sleepwalking out into the night on a curious errand. One injured bird also wakes after days of unconsciousness and leads his protector, the reluctant Louis, on a slow crawl toward the site of the explosion that wounded him. Philo shares a late night conversation and midnight snack with a crow. The dogs squabble. Softcover (Saddle-Stitched/Stapled), 40 pages, B&W. NOTE: This series and current format pick up with Vol. 7 by Drawn & Quarterly - earlier volumes are Xerox editions Cover price $6.95.

Volume 12 - 1st printing. "A Young Crow's Guide to Hunting!" By Anders Nilsen. The latest installment of Nilsen's well-regarded series. The wounded bird Clay completes his slow crawl over the rim and into the bomb crater. There he finds the lonely and depressed Betty. The two compare notes on the cataclysm's effects, and are shortly thereafter descended upon by three upstart crows on a lark and mission of revenge. Softcover (Saddle-Stitched/Stapled), 24 pages, B&W. NOTE: This series and current format pick up with Vol. 7 by Drawn & Quarterly - earlier volumes are Xerox editions Cover price $5.95.
